Latest Hit and Run Fatalities

(CBS 3) PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia Police are searching for a hit and run driver who struck and killed a pedestrian in the Wissinoming section of Philadelphia early Saturday morning.

Police believe it was a young man that was killed while he was crossing Harbison Avenue near Glenloch around 2:30 a.m.

Authorities are looking for one and possibly two vehicles that one eyewitness said were racing at high speeds along Harbison.

A witness saw the cars racing along the road. “We saw them racing and they started going at least 100 (miles per hour) and turned the corner and we lost them at the turn a little bit and we drove up and heard this loud ‘bang’ and we pulled up and we just had to stop really fast and the guy was laying in the middle of the road.”

(CBS 3) BERLIN, NJ Investigators impounded a car that they believe struck and killed a South Jersey man in a hit-and-run early Sunday morning.

Warren Grumbling, 59, was struck around 2 a.m. early Sunday morning at Cross Keys and Colonial Park Roads in Berlin, New Jersey while he was on his way to work.

The car struck Grumbling as he was walking his usual 2.5 mile trek to work at the Berlin Circle Plaza Shoprite.

A photo on the website clearly shows that there are no sidewalks where the crash took place.
